Thunder | peterson 34 | 34ft, manitowoc, wi, us.

Price Just Reduced in time for Spring Launch!

Very clean and well built boat. Professionally maintained and cared for by current owner, and stored indoors for the past 4 years. Excellent racing background, especially in single handed and shorthanded racing. Many upgrades and repairs have been made included but not limited to rudder bearings being replaced, new window ports, new tiller, non-skid repainted, new instruments, engine replaced, keel removed and re-bedded and templated, sails, and all standing and running rigging.

The Peterson 34 went into production at Texas-based Island Yachts/Composite Technologies, and 92 were built until production ceased in 1981. Composite Technologies, established by boat builder Andy Green in Corpus Christi, Texas, was acquired sometime around 1976 by boat builder and rigger Marion Hayes. Hayes renamed the company Island Yacht Corp. and relocated production to League City, Texas. 

It was during this era that Peterson’s designs dominated offshore racing, with winning IOR boats Gumboots, Eclipse, and Ragamuffin. He also designed several stock racers such as the Contessa 35 and the New York 40.

The majority of Peterson’s performance cruisers were considered rugged enough for ocean racing. Peterson once said the 34 “was built to deliver about eight people quickly and safely from point A to point B.”

1977, Peterson 34 sailing yacht MAGEWIND

Peterson 34

This fast, tough racer-cruiser is well suited for offshore racing

American yacht designer Doug Peterson gained the attention of the world’s most competitive sailors when he unveiled the one tonner Ganbare in 1973. The 35-foot sloop was innovative below the waterline, and it was praised for its looks and sailing capability. It went on to win the SORC. By 1976, Peterson had designed the Peterson 34, an offshore racer-cruiser.

The Peterson 34 went into production at Texas-based Island Yachts/Composite Technologies, and 92 were built until production ceased in 1981. Composite Technologies, established by boatbuilder Andy Green in Corpus Christi, Texas, was acquired sometime around 1976 by boatbuilder and rigger Marion Hayes. Hayes renamed the company Island Yacht Corp. and relocated production to League City, Texas. 

It was during this era that Peterson’s designs dominated offshore racing, with winning IOR boats Gumboots, Eclipse, and Ragamuffin. He also designed several stock racers such as the Contessa 35 and the New York 40.

The majority of Peterson’s performance cruisers were considered rugged enough for ocean racing. Peterson once said the 34 “was built to deliver about eight people quickly and safely from point A to point B.” 

First impressions:

The Peterson 34 is as fast as it looks, and this quality solidified Peterson’s reputation as a designer. The sloop’s profile from abeam is sleek, the sharp cut bow and reverse transom give the boat a sense of forward motion. 

The dimensions are well proportioned—the 11-foot 2-inch beam is just about one-third of the boat’s 33-foot 11-inch overall length. The smooth, rounded deck contour is clearly designed to shed seawater. The compact cockpit, with its oceangoing bridgedeck, allows room for a tiller but little else. The traveler is mounted across the bridgedeck. Trimmers can easily reach the primary and secondary winches, none of which were originally self-tailing.

Construction:

The hulls are hand-laid fiberglass mat and unidirectional roving with polyester resin. Although the hulls might be considered thick by today’s standards, the materials were both lightweight and strong for the late 1970s. Early reviews of the Peterson 34 referred to the use of Kevlar, particularly at the maststep and other stress points, but there is no indication that the then-new synthetic was added.

As one owner put it, the Peterson 34 has an extremely strong build and no emergent structural problems, “but they are no Swans cosmetically.” Owners have commented about its shortcomings related mostly to the interior joinery and cabin finish. 

What to look for:

As the number of Peterson 34s grew on the water, races revealed skippers could get more out of the boat by welding an extension to lengthen the boom. The original boom was just over 11 feet long and some were modified until they nearly touched the backstay. 

Potential buyers might also encounter a steering wheel instead of a tiller, a replacement that has caused plenty of debate. A destroyer wheel could make the cockpit more cramped and difficult for crew to work the winches. Owners have also questioned how big a wheel would be needed to deliver the same amount of leverage provided by a tiller. Those who swear by a tiller celebrate its minimum of moving parts compared to a more complex wheel. Concern has also been expressed that any cockpit reinforcement required before installing a wheel, added to the weight of a pedestal and helmsman aft, could upset the boat’s fine balance. Advocates of replacement, which costs about $3,000, say it makes it easier to steer and to connect an autopilot. As a general rule, a Peterson 34 with a wheel probably was not campaigned as a race boat. 

At nearly 40 years old, any original standing rigging, turnbuckles or lifelines are likely rusted or weakened. These should be replaced. Check the rudder post for wear. Examine portals and chainplates for leakage.

The Peterson 34’s double-spreader mast is stepped on the keel. The sailplan features a high-aspect main and massive foretriangle, both common design features in the 1970s. These characteristics were often influenced by IOR rules and can take a bit of muscle to control.

Four winches flank the cockpit to control the sheets. The winches are bolted to the coamings. Additional winches are located atop the coachroof. 

The small cockpit has two drains. The toerail track provides plenty of locations to attach sheet blocks for efficient sail trim. Potential buyers should check for soft spots on deck and stress at the stanchions.

Down below:

Below deck the Peterson 34 is comfortable but certainly not luxurious or spacious. Once down the companionway there’s a compact galley with sink, stove and icebox to port. An efficient navigation station with seat is located to starboard. The saloon is essentially a settee and pilotberth on either side and a teak dining table. The enclosed head with a sink is to port and does not have a wastewater tank unless one was later installed. A stowage cubby and hanging locker to starboard is directly across from the head. The V-berth sleeps two but is often used for sail stowage when only four sailors are aboard. The engine box is beneath the companionway. The boat carries 18 gallons of water.

The Peterson 34 has auxiliary power supplied by a 15-horsepower, raw-water-cooled Yanmar 2QM15G diesel engine. Examine the belts and hoses for wear. Check fluid levels and filters. If possible, shine a light on the engine mounts to look for cracking or loose bolts. The boat has a 12-gallon fuel tank.

Ask pretty much any owner and you’ll hear the Peterson 34 is one sweet boat under sail. 

“It sails like a dinghy,” said owner John Mills of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. “The tiller makes it very responsive.”

Certainly the combination of spade rudder, fin keel and substantial ballast give the boat both speed and handling ability. Owners have noted the design had less of a pintail than the pure IOR designs of the day, making it “less squirrely” when running downwind in a breeze. 

The Peterson 34 is known for its upwind sailing ability. It can point high in light and heavy air, but sail changes will be necessary as wind speed increases due to the relatively large foresails that were typical of that era. 

“It has a reputation as a boat that’s good in light air,” said yacht broker John Proctor at Lawson Yachts. “It’s attractive, well designed and can keep a crew of  five comfortable.”

Owners report the boat does not pound because the fine bow shape slices through the waves, yet can be troublesome to handle under spinnaker in heavy weather should the bow dig and cause the boat to broach.

Conclusion:

Fast, tough and well built, the Peterson 34 is an affordable performance cruiser capable of safely passaging whether on a weeklong cruise or as a contender in an offshore race.

1979 Kelly Peterson Formosa 46

  • Description

Seller's Description

The 1979 Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is a classic sailing yacht that holds a special place in the hearts of sailing enthusiasts. This offshore cruising vessel was designed by renowned naval architect Doug Peterson and built by the Formosa Boat Building Company in Taiwan during the heyday of the cruising sailboat industry.

With a length overall of 46 feet and a beam of 13.3 feet, the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 boasts a robust and seaworthy design. Its full-keel configuration and heavy displacement contribute to its stability and ability to handle various weather conditions. The hull is constructed of fiberglass, known for its durability and low maintenance requirements.

One of the distinguishing features of the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is its timeless and elegant lines. The boat’s traditional sheer line, graceful overhangs, and teak accents on the deck and cabin contribute to its classic appearance. The raised aft deck and low-slung cabin house give it a distinctive profile that stands out in any marina or anchorage.

The interior of the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 is designed with comfort and livability in mind. It features a spacious main salon with a dining area, a well-equipped galley, and ample storage space throughout. The layout includes three private cabins, providing accommodation for a small crew or a family. The warm teak joinery and traditional finishes create a cozy and inviting atmosphere below decks.

On deck, the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 offers a spacious cockpit that provides a secure and comfortable area for sailing and socializing. The wide side decks and high bulwarks make moving around the boat safe and easy, and the well-protected cockpit provides excellent visibility for the helmsperson. The sail plan consists of a cutter rig with a mainmast positioned aft and a shorter mast forward, allowing for versatile sail configurations to suit different wind conditions.

Although the Kelly Peterson Formosa 46 was produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s, its classic design and timeless appeal have ensured its enduring popularity among cruising sailors. It remains a cherished choice for those seeking a comfortable and reliable yacht capable of taking them on memorable voyages around the world.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Yet another altered version of the KELLY-PETERSON 44 (PETERSON 44 CUTTER), first offered in 1976. (Often, as in this case, with out the payment of design royalties.) To make the boat longer, it is said that builders simply added an incremental distance between each station on the original plans.
